The Finnish Folk Metal Mafia Return! Skálmöld has teamed with Korpiklaani and Moonsorrow for some very special shows in Europe!

MOONSORROW‘s Ville Sorvali states:“The first FFMM tour earlier this year was such a blast that we knew we had to do a second part. And this time with some non-FFMM villains from Iceland as special guests – welcome on board SKÁLMÖLD and try to hang on!”

SKÁLMÖLD‘s Snæbjörn Ragnarsson counters:“Try to hang on?! Challenge accepted my friend! But wow, touring with not one but TWO Finnish bands, what could possibly go wrong? No, in all seriousness, I know this will be a killer tour. Great bands, great guys and (great) beer, what more do you need?”

Last but not least, KORPIKLAANI‘s Don Jon comments further:“Oh my gods, is this Finnish Folk Metal Mafia madness going to continue with MOONSORROW? …and we are going to get one more band on it? SKÁLMÖLD from Iceland? You had better come and see this with your own eyes because this will be something ELSE! See you soon there boys and girls!”

Finnish crusaders of heathen metal, MOONSORROW, will once more head out for a tour later this year, issued Century Media Records. With their fellow countrymen KORPIKLAANI on board again, the Finnish Folk Metal Mafia reunites for another run of European shows in autumn 2016! The two powerhouses of Finnish folk metal will this time be joined by Iceland’s Skalmoeld!

Last but not least, Jonne Järvelä comments further: “Oh my Gods, is this Finnish Folk Metal Mafia madness going to continue with Moonsorrow? …and we are going to get even one more band on it?? Skalmoeld from Iceland??? You would better come and see this with your own eyes because this will be something ELSE! See you soon there boys and girls!”

To present “Jumalten Aika” live, MOONSORROW will embark on a co-headlining tour in April with fellow countrymen KORPIKLAANI. Both bands will perform extended long sets.

Today, Finnish pagan metal act MOONSORROW launched an epic video for their brand-new track “Suden Tunti” (The Hour Of The Wolf), which is taken off their upcoming new album “Jumalten Aika”.

“This is the shortest song we’ve done in more than ten years!” comments Ville Sorvali. “It has all the elements that make it a Moonsorrow track but it’s still something we hadn’t done before. This is the dark side of folk metal – the epic battle of Fenris and Odin from a new perspective.”

“This is the day we never thought would come. We never thought we would release an official Moonsorrow music video,” adds Mitja Harvilahti. “Writing music without compromises is hard enough. Making a video that catches the same spirit without compromises and awkward moments that takes away the credibility is even harder! We had a thought for some time that only an animated video with enough artistic flavour would work. Since Suden Tunti is somewhat based on actual myths it was possible to create the world where the script takes place!”

MOONSORROW’s Henri Sorvali comments: “WE DO NOT SERVE.

Everyone in Moonsorrow has been a great Rotting Christ-fan since the early 90’s and with our version of this song we wanted not only to honor the band but also give the credit how much we have been influenced by them throughout our history. With our hails and deepest respect to our brothers in Hellas, we proudly present our interpretation of their creation: Non Serviam.”

ROTTING CHRIST frontman Sakis Tolis comments: “The Non Serviam dictum is more topical than ever nowadays and we are more than honored, that the Great Finish Pagan Metal Warriors, Moonsorrow, have honored it and gave their own vision on how our early 90’s song can also sound nowadays. We all in the band find their creation amazing and we send our respect to the north. Keep the spirit alive!”
